Story: At first I thought this drama will be a steamy romantic drama like Ashes of Love or Ten Miles Peach Blossom. But it turn out to be just a cliche love story added with tasteless politics. In the middle of the series, they seem like losing pace, too much predictable plot that make this drama lost interest. The politics is too shallow which not even touch the palace intrigue at all, and it only shows that in martial art's world only contain with poor thinking people. The love story also half-hearted, although the broken heart scenes are convincing.

Acting: I admit that I have interest in this drama because of the pair of main actors. Leo Luo after being second lead in many dramas, at last had his own lead drama, and this drama had promising romance. However, I turn out disappointed as the character he played was so weak and not smart. But I give credit to his acting because he can bring out the emotion well enough. Yukee Chen in other hand, don't think her role suit her. She will be more suitable for smart, strong and little bit wicked character like the character she played in Ashes of Love. Chong Xue Zhi is not smart, too weak and too emotional character. I can't say her acting was bad, in some scene she did bring out emotion but just don't deep enough.

Music: I love all OST sang by Zhou Shen (Charlie Zhou), so romantic even the movie/drama was not all-out romance.

Overall: I wish they add more politics intrigue to this drama to make it more interesting, or just focus on the romance between main characters instead of making long unnecessary story of like undecided main plot. This drama is wavering between good, evil and grey but eventually not telling anything.
